On March 15, 2025, Congress passed a new Continuing Resolution (CR) to maintain federal government funding and extend temporary Medicare telehealth flexibilities to September 30, 2025 (pushing back the previous expiration date of March 31).
President Trump signed it into law shortly after. While this extension provides some relief, telehealth stakeholders now face yet another looming deadline in September, keeping long-term policy uncertainty in play.
As Congress considers further extensions of the temporary Medicare telehealth policies, which have been in place since 2020, it would be reassuring if they were to also consider these latest findings in the context of proposing a more permanent and stable Medicare telehealth landscape moving forward. At the time of writing, the most recently passed Continuing Resolution only extends Medicare telehealth waivers through September 30, 2025.
